Prince George and Prince Louis’ incredibly kind gesture for Princess Charlotte during Christmas walkabout – revealed

Prince George and Prince Louis are incredibly close to their sister, Princess Charlotte, and they proved their sweet bond during the annual Sandringham walkabout.

Legions of fans lined up to see the royals and several of them brought gifts to hand out to the young children, mostly consisting of chocolate. The young royals could be seen handling plenty of sweet treats with Louis running up to collect some chocolate, which he promptly attempted to hand to his older sister.

Unfortunately, wires appeared to get crossed during the interaction and Prince William ended up with the sweet treat. Thankfully, George was on hand to head back to the crowd member, where he collected another chocolate, making sure that it got to his sister.

There are several royal protocols governing whether members of the royal family are allowed to accept gifts, but thankfully the children will be able to keep all of the chocolates and plush toys they were handed.

Among the gifts that royals are allowed to accept from members of the public are foodstuff and other consumable items, alongside items of a small monetary value; something that doesn’t exceed £150.

During the family’s walkabout, William seemed visibly grateful to the public as he witnessed his children receive kind gifts from well-wishers on the Sandringham grounds.

The young royals almost seemed overwhelmed by the amount of gifts, as Charlotte was overheard asking: “Papa, can you carry some?”. William, amused by Louis’ generous stash, remarked to onlookers: “Flowers [pointing at Charlotte], chocolate [pointing at Louis], very easy!”

During the service, the royals were seen giggling and smiling as Richard E. Grant read a passage from A Christmas Carol, bringing the characters of Scrooge and Tiny Tim to life with his voices and expressions.

At one point Charlotte turned to smile at her mother Kate, while Louis and his big brother, Prince George, 11, both grinned.
